About this episode

This episode discusses the experience of new patients visiting their doctor for the first time, featuring insights from NC Family Physicians.

In this new "mini lesson" we discuss the topic of the new patient coming in for their first visit to their new doctor. Listen to an (almost) real story about the experience of one of Dr White's former patients. Some very wise NC Family Physicians weigh in with their perspectives, leading to five lessons to consider. We hope you find this episode on a topic not commonly discussed both thought-provoking and valuable.
